Hmm, I find the 1x2 and 2x2 bricks with one axle peg handy. They make modular
constructions a little easier than using Technic bricks and pins since the pin
always stays with the same brick. Also, the pin is the same color as the brick
which can be handy. The 2x4 brick with 2 axle pegs, while annoying in the
quantities we get them, is not so easily replaceable by Technic parts. The 2x2
with 2 axle pegs is a little more replaceable with Technic parts.
I do appreciate the structural integrity of the 1x2x5 columns, and 1x6x5 walls
may have some advantages if printed or stickered. It would be preferable though
in a new color to get bricks.
